Another member sitting over there is bragging about that.
I want to put a reality test before us. For example, I heard the Prime Minister bragging six to eight months ago about how they had created many jobs. I thought I should check this out.
I checked all the provincial brag sheets, the newspapers and so on, and each province in turn was saying it created x number of jobs and that is why it is doing so well, et cetera. The Prime Minister is claiming that he created all the jobs in Canada. The provincial premiers are bragging that they created all the jobs in the country. On and on it goes. In fact the real job creator in the country is private industry.
I do not understand, for the life of me, why governments make media announcements indicating that they have created jobs. The fact of the matter is that it is private industry.
